THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — A top level administrator for the Phoenix House confirmed yesterday that along with testing the waters regarding the purchase of the former Gunstock Inn, his organization is also considering the Arches — a now defunct Northfield assisted living facility.

Neil Gaer, the vice president and director of Clinical Affairs, said yesterday that he and Paul Lavallee — the two men who initially approached the Gilford Planning Board about using the inn as an in-house rehabilitation center — had two of their employees tour the Arches on Thursday.

Phoenix House is a nonprofit company that operates drug addiction and alcohol abuse treatment and rehabilitation centers. The New York based company operates 150 programs in 10 different states. see arCHEs page 12

Wall Street holds it nerve as automatic spending cuts near NEW YORK (AP) — With barely a week to go before $85 billion in automatic government spending cuts kick in, Wall Street is holding its nerve.

The Dow Jones industrial average has gained 6.8 percent since the start of the year as investors largely ignored the latest installment of Washington’s budget drama. The Dow Jones climbed close to its record level at the start of the month and the Standard & Poor’s 500 notched up a streak of seven straight weeks of gains, before easing back this week. Even after its weekly loss of 0.3 percent, it’s still up 6.3 percent this year.

Wall Street is betting that the cuts, which the

Congressional Budget Office estimates will take 0.6 of a percentage point of economic growth this year and cost 750,000 jobs, won’t be enough to derail the recovery. Investors may also have become used to Washington brinkmanship, having seen last-minute deals brokered after a series of political standoffs.

David Bianco, chief U.S. equities strategist at Deutsche Bank, says the automatic spending cuts could actually be a “net positive” for stocks, despite the drag that they would put on the economy. That’s because a set of known, measurable spending cuts are better than no budget reduction at all.

“Significant spending cuts are needed,” Bianco

says. “Until that happens, people are going to worry that this is still a problem that needs to be solved.”

Bianco estimates that the impact of the spending cuts on corporate profits will be limited, reducing the income of companies in the S&P 500 index by just 2 percent.

Sitting on the sidelines during the political wrangling in Washington hasn’t been a winning strategy in recent years either, as stocks have rebounded and come back stronger each time, says David Kelly, chief strategist at J.P. Morgan funds.

The Dow has returned 24 percent since the end see WALL STREET page 12

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is warning that automatic spending cuts scheduled to take effect March 1 will result in travel delays at major airports and require traffic-disrupting shutdowns of air traffic control towers at smaller facilities.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood says the across the board reductions will require trimming $600 million this year form the Federal Aviation Administration. LaHood says that will mean furloughing air traffic controllers, which in turn will reduce the ability to guide planes in and out of airports.

He says travelers could experience 90 minute delays or more in major cities.

The transportation reductions are part of broader,

cuts that will hit across government agencies that will begin to kick in at the end of next week.

LaHood’s appearance in the White House briefing room was part of a continuing campaign by Cabinet members and other administration officials aimed at buttressing President Barack Obama’s appeal to Congress to replace the cuts with tax increases and targeted reductions. Congressional Republicans oppose any additional tax increases.

Asked whether it appeared inevitable that the cuts would materialize, press secretary Jay Carney said: “We obviously are discouraged by the line that Republican leaders have taken, which is the book is closed on revenue. ... We remain hopeful and we will continue to engage with Congress.”

LaHood, a former Republican congressman from Illinois, denied that he was simply describing a worst-case scenario that would scare the public and put pressure on Republican lawmakers. He said the effect of the cuts will begin to be felt around the beginning of April.

“What I’m trying to do is wake up members of the Congress with the idea that they need to come to the table so we don’t have to have this kind of calamity in air services in America,” he said.

LaHood said the main reason the White House had asked him to appear before White House-based reporters was because he is a Republican making the case for Obama with Republican lawmakers.

Conway middle school coach charged with sex assault on girl

Oscar Pistorius granted bail as murder trail looms

CONWAY (AP) — A New Hampshire middle school girls’ basketball coach has been charged with sexually assaulting a 13-year-old player.

Twenty-four-year-old William Cavanaugh of Conway is charged with three counts of felonious sexual assault. Each count is punishable by up to seven years in prison.

Conway police say Cavanaugh was arrested without incident Thursday during a motor vehicle stop. He was arraigned Friday and released on $5,000 bond.

Cavanaugh’s lawyer, Leonard Harden, says he and his client don’t yet know any details about the see COACH page 11

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistorius walked out of court Friday — free at least for now — after a South African magistrate released him on bail, capping four days of often startling testimony that foreshadowed a dramatic trial in the Valentine’s Day slaying of his girlfriend.

But as he was driven away, chased by photographers and cameramen, questions continued to hound the double-amputee Olympian about what actually happened the night he gunned down Reeva Steenkamp inside a locked bathroom in his home.

Pistorius is charged with premeditated murder, and even Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair expressed doubts about his story that he mistook the 29-yearold model for an intruder and fired out of fear.

Cries of “Yes!” went up from Pistorius’ supporters when Nair announced his decision to a packed courtroom after a nearly two-hour explanation of the ruling.

Nair set bail at 1 million rand ($113,000), with $11,300 in cash up front and proof that the rest is available.

Obama out to destroy thousands of good jobs Here’s the latest example of head-splitting cognitive dissonance in Washington: President Obama used his State of the Union address to crusade for a revitalized U.S. manufacturing sector. But while he pays lip service to supporting businesses that build their products on American soil, Obama and his left-wing operatives are hell-bent on driving a key sector of the U.S. manufacturing industry six feet under: the American firearms and ammunition industry.

The White House is pushing new government spending to “spur economic growth,” protect manufacturing plants and “create good-paying jobs” to help America’s middle class.

Yet across the country, with aggressive lobbying by the White House itself, Democrats are working to destroy tens of thousands of goodpaying jobs and the firms that created them. Assault rhetoric has lasting real-world consequences.

In New York, Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo imposed radical, ineffectual gun-grabbing measures that are backfiring in more ways than one. Nearly half a dozen gun companies have now announced that they will no longer sell their products to police in the Empire State. In protest of Cuomo’s guncontrol regime banning citizens from owning semi-automatic rifles or shotguns because of cosmetic features deemed “military-style,” Washington-based Olympic Arms “will no longer be doing business with the State of New York or any governmental entity or employee of such governmental entity within the State of New York.”

According to USA Today, other companies including “LaRue Tactical, York Arms, Templar Custom and EFI, as well as sporting-goods retailer Cheaper Than Dirt” have also joined the sales boycott of New York.

Worse news for New York citizens: At least one local manufacturer, the storied Remington Arms Company founded in Ilion, N.Y., in 1816, is in dire financial danger as a result of Cuomo’s draconian regulations. The company’s innovations in weaponry and ammunition have been used in sporting, self-defense, law enforcement and warfare for two centuries.

Now, as a result of hysteriainduced government pandering, nearly 40 percent of Remington’s weapons can no longer be sold to citizens legally. Its small-town plant employs more than 1,300 people in a town of 8,000 and generates revenue of an estimated $400 million from sales in the U.S. and 55 other countries. As an Ilion local official noted, “Remington is not only a major employer, but it’s a historic employer. It’s been part of our very fiber for 200 years.”

And so it is with the rest of the industry. Despite tough economic

times, firearms and ammunition companies have created nearly 27,000 well-paying jobs over the past two years alone, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Businesses in the United States that manufacture, distribute and sell firearms, ammunition and hunting equipment employ nearly 100,000 people in the U.S. and generate an additional 110,000-plus jobs in supplier and ancillary industries.

“These are good jobs, paying an average of $46,858 in wages and benefits,” the NSSF reports. In addition, “the firearms and ammunition industry was responsible for as much as $31.84 billion in total economic activity in the country ... (and) the industry and its employees pay over $2.07 billion in taxes including property, income and sales based levies.”

In my adopted home state of Colorado, where unemployment hovers near 8 percent, nearly a dozen businesses are being forced to consider leaving their home state because of extremist gun-control proposals.

Vice President Joe Biden himself leaned on Democratic lawmakers to support an arbitrary 15-round limit on ammunition magazines.

So, what have Sheriff Joe and his gun-grabbing pals wrought? Denver-based ammo magazine manufacturer Magpul served notice that it will take its 400 full-time employees and subcontractors somewhere else. Magpul generates some $85 million in spending in the state.

As the Denver Post reported, the privately held company makes an array of consumer products in addition to sales to the military, law enforcement and gun owners. And because Magpul has made a conscientious effort to support other Colorado companies, the ripple effect could reach far beyond the gun industry — including several cutting-edge innovators in the plastics-injectionmolding business. One of Magpul’s most important contractors, Denverbased Alfred Manufacturing Co., employs 150 residents. It, too, will “relocate part or all of our operations out of state” if Democrat Gov. John Hickenlooper enacts the stringent gun-control regime pushed by Biden and company. The company has already put expansion plans on hold.

Smart lawmakers from Texas, Michigan, Oklahoma, Arizona and South Carolina are now courting Remington away from New York and Magpul away from Colorado. For now, these states can offer business-friendly, Second Amendment-defending climates that support a demonized industry.

But how much longer will it be until Obama and the pro-jobs hypocrites on Capitol Hill find new, more nefarious ways to obstruct this innovationdriving, wealth-producing sector of the American economy? Make no mistake: Gun-control demagoguery is a lethal weapon.

LETTERS Until we teach compassion & respect to our innocent children. . .

To the editor, Thievery, kidnapping, murder and rape. Bad behavior has been around, even before the first gun was made.

The largest of these atrocities were always government sponsored. America... you are not exempt! I personally believe every child is born innocent and it’s the chapters of our lives that create who we become. Some have chapters filled with riches and fame and some have journeys that portray the worst horror story ever written. All the rest fall somewhere in between.

Discussion about guns, problems with Vets, along with the recent tragedy in Los Angeles struck a chord with me.

So I needed to tell this story.

I lived up in the mountains of western Montana for five years during the late 1980s. One day I was following a small group of elk. The main bull was huge! With rifle in hand, I pursued most of the day, always taking the high ground on them. I expected a good shot soon. Dropping down through a thick stand of evergreens I entered a high basin unknown to me.

When I emerged from the trees, the small cabin sat in front of me.

On the front porch, a gray bearded man, his rifle ready. A stout dog stood beside him. Both stared at me. Cradling my high powered rifle in my left arm, I steadily walked toward them.

I was unsure of the man, but instinctively knew the dog was not to be trusted. When close, I stared to extend my hand and introduce myself.

“Don’t move!” he shouted. The growl from the dog quieted when I dropped my hand down. After my explanation on why I was there, he invited in for coffee, interesting me to sit in his chair.

“Don’t get up. Don’t move and don’t follow me in the kitchen.” he demanded.

“Nam?” I asked.

“Yes,” he replied, then he disappeared beyond the wall.

For the next 15 minutes I sat like a prisoner. This stranger’s dog stood guard not more than a quick lunge away. We locked eyes; not a hint of friendship between us. Finally, without a move and in a calm voice, I asked him, “You told him I was coming, didn’t

ya?” He then displayed the rest of his sharp teeth. For a second I though the dog was smiling. But no sane man in my predicament would want to find out by extending his hand.

John and I talked for a good length of time. He had had it a whole lot worse than I had during those years when were younger. He didn’t give specifics, but I knew from his eyes that this soldier had gone through hell. Also, I understood he was still very troubled. I told him of a cousin who had come back a different man.

This cousin has bragged for years of his kills, of the necklace strung with ears that he had taken as trophies and had worn in Nam. Unfortunately, he died before his thirtieth birthday of a heart attack. John didn’t seem surprised. “I’ve seen them all”, he said.

Then looking up he said, “They didn’t want us over there and they didn’t want us back.” With sadness I replied, “I know”.

John shook my hand and when I left and “Wolf” allowed it. I took John’s path downhill a ways from the cabin, but I knew I needed to turn west to familiar territory and to get back to my own cabin. Below, I stopped and looked back. Only “Wolf” remained on the porch. In front of me on the lodge pole pine tree the sign read “Trespassers Will Be Shot!”

Until we teach compassion and respect to our innocent children and until the powers of the government tend our own, nothing will change. Too many service men and women come home with irreparable damage. You leaders in Washington who bath in cash and power, you are wasting our time and money trying to ban guns.

That endeavor would be as successful as the Middle East banning their stones. We need guns for food and protection. And, as the Constitution requires, we need them to protect you Leaders from yourselves. So Washington, do some good and earn your pay!

Sometimes I wonder if John and others are still up there in the mountains. “Wolf” has surely passed by now.

Too bad, he was a good dog.

LETTERS Attend a Tea Party meeting to see what members are really like To the editor, On Thursday February 14, 2013 you published a long letter written by former Meredith Selectman Peter Miller. He was extolling the virtues of Inter-Lakes School Board candidate Mark Billings. Mr. Miller feels that Mr. Billings would be a fantastic School Board member.

In his powerful and thought-provoking closing paragraph he stated: “During the nearly 20 years Dotty and I have lived in Meredith, we have witnessed how people of different political persuasions have worked together to achieve common goals.”

Bravo Mr. Miller!

But moments before, in the same letter, Mr. Miller said: “ ... I respect the Tea Party for the fiscal restraints it has been advocating. Nonetheless, I have the same request of it that I do of the Democrats. Confine your attention to Concord and Washington. Stay out of local affairs.”

Well, Mr. Miller, you must love George Orwell’s Animal Farm as you seem to feel that some political parties/members are more equal than others, and are better suited to achieve the ‘common goals’ you talk about. I’ve got a few questions for you so we can more closely examine your tolerance levels and data collection abilities.

What are these common goals? Are you sure a majority of people support them? Have you ever attended a Tea Party meeting to see what its members are really like, what they really believe in? Did you ever broach this Tea Party topic with Mr. Mark Billings who’s qualifications you sing? Would your endorsement of Mark Billings change if I told you he’s attended numerous Lakes Regions Tea Party meetings and signed up for our regular newsletter?

I cordially invite you to attend a Tea Party meeting. You’ll discover that many of us are deeply caring about local politics, the schools, private property rights, the U.S. and N.H. Constitutions, and environmental issues. In fact, I can clearly remember Mr. Billings speaking up at some past meetings about such issues.

P.S. I suggest you do some additional homework before you decide to write a letter meant for public consumption.

When you present all the facts, people might possibly believe what you say.

P.P.S. In the coming months you’ll discover the local Tea Party will become deeply involved in local politics. Why? It’s simple. We live here, and we care about the community as much, or possibly more, than you do.

Tim Carter, Co-Leader www.LakesRegionTeaParty.org

Anti-gun advocates are long on rhetoric & emotional exploitation To the editor, There are times when I read the letters of liberals and anti-gun advocates, who, it is apparent, have no clue as to what they are talking about. These folks just repeat whatever nonsense they have read or heard other liberals say. One can’t put too much blame on them for they are merely what the commissars use to call “useful idiots”.

But then there is another category of people who do know better but in spite of that will print the most atrocious nonsense in order to put fear in the minds of uninformed people.

Regretfully, my fellow townie Henry Osmer, in his letter Tuesday morning, seeks to do just that. He compares a war zone in Viet Nam to our lives here in N.H. and the U.S. (That’s not even apples and oranges Henry and you know it.)

Anti-gun advocates are long on inflammatory rhetoric, misinformation and emotional exploitation but short on true facts. They use colorful descriptions

like “assault weapons” or “sniper rifles’ or “cop-killer bullets” but these descriptions are only to spread fear among non gun owners. These terms, designed to misinform, are by any measure lies.

True assault rifles, military rifles, are in fact, covered by the 1934 machine gun laws. Sniper rifles? No such thing; sniping is the use any projectile weapon might be used for. That includes sling shots, bows and arrows, any firearm, but that doesn’t stop anti-gunners from throwing the label around. What the heck it scares the bejeebers out of soccer moms. Oh and just to be clear, no bullet ever was designed just to kill cops.

To be sure gun and bullets are dangerous. They must be treated with respect and care. Useful laws and regulations are already in place in most states but more often then not federal officials refuse to enforce their own laws. Until they do we should not be talking about more regulations and laws.

LETTERS Thanks for coming on a cold night to help the Legion raise funds To the editor, We appologize for our delay in writing this very important letter to so many wonderful folks that live and work in the greater Laconia area.

On Wednesday, Jan. 23rd, a bitterly cold day, The Wilkins-Smith American Legion Post 1, hosted the “World Famous Harlem Wizards”, at Laconia High School Gym. The Wizards provided a great evening of family entertainment. We were concerned with the bitter cold weather and it was cold. Brrrrr!, but alas, the hearty folks of the greater laconia area turned out to fill the LHS Gym and were treated to lots of laughs and tricks by the Wizards. The Laconia Brusiers, made up of area teachers, students and others proved to be great competition for the Wizards as well. Give the advantage to our female team members leading a challenge to a great Wizards team!

They rocked and led our team, we almost beat them....ha!

The Wilkins-Smith American Legion Post 1, has so many, many folks to thank in helping our post make this event so successful, and only the flu prevented this letter from appearing earlier, so our apologies for the delay.

So lets get started: the management and staff of the Marriot Town Place Suites for putting up the Wizards while they were in Laconia, Mr. Jim Chase, LHS AD; Jim was involved in many different ways, including putting the “Bruisers Team” together.

The staff and students of the Laconia JAG Association; their involvement was so critical to our success, the custodial staff of LHS, for their assistance in set-up and of course the cleaning of the gym after the event, they were awesome! Both of our daily newspapers, (Laconia Daily Sun and The Citizen of Laconia); for their coverage and advance stories about our event, we could not have presented

this event without your help. The staff of the Laconia basketball team, who allowed us in their gym while they tried to hold a practice (not easy when you have the Wizards in attendance... ha!). The Laconia PD, they keep checking on our event through out the evening and with 700 folks in attendance, we welcomed their appearance at the game. The folks at Patricks Pub for providing a great meal to the Wizards, and in addition as a ticket outlet for the game; thank you Alan and Jeff. Our good friends at All My Life Jewelry in downtown Laconia, who always support the Legion by selling tickets to all of our events; thank you Randy, Sue and Charlie.

Last and not the least, our members of the Post and their family’s that also came out in the very cold weather, to help us sell food for our guests; the JAG members for selling the Wizards basketballs, etc. The list could go on & on; so many folks to say “Thank You” to. . . but the biggest “Thank You”, goes out to the citizens of the greater Laconia area for coming out on a cold Wednesday evening to help the Legion raise funds for our scholarship funds. The Legion awards at least seven scholarships each year to our area students as they go forward in their adventure of a better education. The Legion works very hard at raising these funds all year long. Our next project will be hosting the KellyMiller Circus at Memorial Park Field on July 5th and 6th as another scholarship fund raiser. Hopefully, we will see you all their!. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your support!

Thank you to all who took part in our Soup-A-Thon fundraiser To the editor, On last Sunday’s wintry night, one hundred and seventy hardy and souploving souls joined Hands Across the Table cooks and servers for our Second Annual Soup-A-Thon Fundraiser. The HATT Board of Directors is grateful for the outstanding support of our program. Hands Across the Table feeds the hungry in body or spirit.

The fundraiser was held at St. James Episcopal Church. Ten soups were offered by Temple B’nai Israel, Laconia Unitarian Universalists, St Andre Bessette parish, St James Episcopal, the HATT Board of Directors, and the Lobster Pound and Christmas Island restaurants. Three silver soup ladles were awarded: first prize went to Lou Gaynor, HATT chef, for his succulent clam chowder; second prize to Irene Gordon, Temple B’nai Israel, for her famous matzo ball soup, and third prize to Fr. Mark Drouin, St Andre Bessette Parish, for his very special vegetable soup.

Jim Goren of JB Scoops donated ice cream and toppings to accompany cookies homemade by the HATT Board of Directors. He also ran the supplementary auction and enter-

for the second seating necessary because of the great attendance.

The River Crew Art Group kindly displayed their paintings, sculpture, and photography. Created by some of our homeless Laconia neighbors, the artwork is poignant, creative, and not to be missed. We thank them for their generosity and community spirit.

We were able to publicize our event through courtesy of the Laconia Sun, Laconia Citizen, weekly newspapers and local radio stations. A special thanks to Elaine Hirshan at the Laconia Sun and Alan Harrison of WEZS. Open Arms generously provided breads and vegetables and Kris Roberts of Whittemore Florist donated dozens of eggs.

Thank you, thank you to everyone who took part in the Soup-a-thon fundraiser. We were so successful that we have already procured a larger venue for next year; all will be seated and served at the same time — no lines! The monies raised last Sunday will ensure that our hands continue to reach across the table each Tuesday night, 5 p.m., at St James Episcopal Church.

LETTERS I am running for selectman because of strong sense of civic duty To the editor, I, Bill Bolton, am running for selectman of the Town of Plymouth, and would appreciate your vote on Tuesday, March 12.

I’ve resided in Plymouth for most of my life. My wife Denise and I chose to raise our four children here and have benefited from Plymouth’s excellent school system as well as the town’s nurturing environment. In fact, my son Will is about to graduate from PRHS and will become a student at Plymouth State University next fall.

We have much at stake in Plymouth’s continued success and in PSU’s high quality of education.

When I think of Plymouth, many things come to mind — the physical beauty of our town and surroundings, the good public school system, and the close collaboration between the town and the university. But I also think of high property taxes, the impending development of the Tenney Mountain Highway corridor, and the rollout of diverse alternative energy systems. The town’s direction depends on its strong and effective boards and commissions, and an effective town manager and staff. The Selectboard assures that the proper tools are provided to the town management and that it is governed correctly.

I am running for selectman because I have a strong sense of civic duty and a love for the Plymouth community. I

have also had many years’ of experience managing the staff and budgets of large state agencies. I have served as New Hampshire State Registrar and am currently an information technology consultant for a national association. Throughout my career in state government, I have pursued cutting edge projects involving innovative solutions. I have developed a skill-set that allows me to be thorough in the analysis of issues and problems, and defensible and just in my decisions.

Due to good fortune (and good broadband connectivity), I am now able to work out of my home. Although not quite an “empty-nester” (my daughter is a seventh grader at PES), I find I have more time to offer the Plymouth community, and I have volunteered for such organizations like “Keep the Heat On” (recently appointed chair of the Sponsor Committee), and the “Educational Theatre Collaborative”. I also have time to offer the Selectboard.

In the years ahead, the Plymouth Selectboard must take increased responsibility for ensuring that the town’s character is preserved within a reasonable tax structure. I would like very much to work for my community in deciding how we achieve that goal.

Thank you for your vote on Tuesday, March 12.

Let’s see if Belmont taxpayers will open the station on their own To the editor, Letter to the Sanbornton selectmen: Apparently Sanbornton has not had a need for the Winnisquam Fire Station because it’s been closed for the past six years. I am curious does anyone know what kind of an impact that has had, if any, on our lakeside residents? Haven’t seen any letters in the paper or comments at the BOS meetings complaining about the service provided by our Fire Department. Have you ?

I suspect that Belmont was pushing for the reopening due to the demand in service in that area of Belmont.

Lets see if the taxpayers of Belmont are willing to pay for that station to reopen on their own!

If the Selectmen of Belmont don’t want to speak to us anymore let them explain their attitude to their taxpayers at election time!

Thank you Meredith for coming to the assistance of Liberty House To the editor, Just a brief note to thank those people in Meredith that have so generously come to the assistance of the Liberty House homeless vetern’s shelter in Manchester. With extremely limited resources, and no assistance from the Veteran’s Administration, donations from the private sector such as those that have come from the people of Meredith are extremely critical if Liberty House is to keep its doors open for New Hampshire’s

homeless veteran’s population.

Once again, Liberty House extends its appreciation to those from the Meredith area that have supported our homeless veteran’s program, many of whom are combat veterans. The Liberty House staff assures you that your donations are always utilized with the veterans best interest at heart. God bless you.

Thank you, Liz, for sharing a beautiful memory from your past To the editor, Thank you Liz O’Neil. Your letter to the editor in the February 9th edition of The Laconia Sun was so refreshing.

A pure account of a childhood memory of a snowy winter’s night in Massachusetts many years ago. No complaints, no politics.

What a treasure to have lived during that time — no television, no

cell phones, nor iPads or texting, just the thrill of going sledding on a Saturday morning.

Your mother who raised twelve children said the sweetest and dearest words at bedtime...”Say your prayers and go to sleep.” Thank you for sharing a beautiful memory from your past.

Retirement: Director Scott Davis leaving Huot Center after 20 years at the helm

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Scott Davis, like his wife Sarah, is a Vermont kid. He grew up in Fairhaven, graduated from high school in Barre and went to college at the University of Vermont. He had started his educational career there, too, when something about a help wanted ad in the Sunday newspaper attracted his attention. The advertisement was soliciting applications for the position of director of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center here.

Davis recently announced his plans to retire at the end of the current school year. He’s served as director of the Huot Center for 20 years. The facility offers technical education programs for students in the Laconia, Gilford, Inter-Lakes, Belmont, Franklin and Winnisquam Regional school districts.

“When we moved to the area, we didn’t know anything about the area except they had Bike Week,” recalled Sarah.

While she and Scott prefer cycles of the nonmotorized variety, they found that there was plenty in Laconia for them to like. They chose to live in the city, raise their children in Laconia and, although they still consider themselves Vermonters, Laconia is where they plan to continue living.

Scott took a round-about route to education. He earned his first degree, at UVM, in animal science.

Soon, though, he found himself working in schools.

He began his educational career 36 years ago, teaching at St. Johnsbury Academy, then in the vocational education program of the Vermont Department of Corrections, and then for a district in Springfield, Vt. While he wasn’t embarking on a full-on job search when he came across the ad for the Huot Center position, he said things had been changing in his district and he was willing to consider a change for himself.

“We just came out here on kind of a whim,” explained Sarah.

“We really loved the area, geographically,” said Scott. As outdoor enthusiasts, they liked the recreational opportunities in the Lakes Region. They were also impressed by the warm reception they were given by their new co-workers and neighbors.

“I loved the feel of the community. It just seemed like a good fit.”

As much as Laconia was a good fit for the Davis family, Scott found himself at home in technical education. “I love the application of classroom learning. I love seeing kids who may have struggled in school find their niche.” In technical education, he

said, “People find their passions. We’re active and engaged, people like that.”

Sarah also found a professional home in the Lakes Region. Like Scott, she started her career in Vermont, as a kindergarten teacher. She served as a school librarian for two years at Elm Street School, and for the past 18 years she’s worked as a librarian and reading specialist in Ashland.

The Davises also raised their two adopted sons, Tyler and Ben, in Laconia, both of whom took advantage of offerings at the Huot Center.

Ben studied pre-engineering, and although he doesn’t currently employ that training — he works as an X-ray technician at Lakes Region General Hospital — he said teacher Ken Martin “was a great mentor to me.” In retrospect, he wishes he had taken classes in the health science program, which provides enough training to students that they’re ready to begin a health care career the day after gradua-

tion. “I’m just blown away by how awesome this kind of thing is,” he said.

Tyler studied multi-media while in high school, something he enjoyed as a creative break from his academic courses. As a freelance photographer, he employs his Huot Center education by shooting extreme sports events put on by Red Bull. His fulltime job is as English teacher at Gilford High School, where he sees the effect that technical center education has on students. “The kids that I have that do tech, do better in my class.... I push the kids to go there all the time.”

Scott has seen much change in the two decades he’s spent at the Huot Center. The student interest in manufacturing dropped, only to resurge again.

There’s also a renewed attraction to building trades.

Health care is more popular than ever, and the new law enforcement program has proven popular. see next page

Black Brook Watershed Management Plan looks to combat pollution of Winnisquam

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

SANBORNTON — The final report of the Black Brook Watershed Management plan, which was received recently by the town, calls for a combination of steps, including new culverts and sediment traps in critical areas, as well as zoning ordinance and site plan regulation changes, in order to combat non source point pollution (NPS), which poses a major threat to the water quality of Lake Winnisquam.

Don Foudriat, who coordinated the $40,000 study for the town, says that the plan, which was developed by AECOM Environment, ‘’projects a significant increase in future NPS pollution that will likely occur as the watershed gradually moves from forests, agriculture, and low density housing toward more intensive residential housing.’’

He said NPS pollution sources come from naturally occurring rain water that becomes contaminated from atmospheric impurities during rainfall and then acquires impurities found in or on the soil from sources such as septic systems, animal feces and fertilizer chemicals as it flows over and through the soil. These water borne contaminants enter brooks and streams and eventually into lakes and other water bodies.

Foudriat said the phosphorus discharge from Black Brook already exceeds the limit for maintaining high water quality in Winnisquam and will eventually lead to degradation of the lake, creating ideal conditions for algae blooms and the growth of water milfoil.

The Black Brook area became a major problem for the town in 2006 when culverts and catch basins failed in a storm during July and tons of silt were washed into Lake Winnisquam. The state Department of Environmental Services then mandated from preceding page Attitudes toward technical education have also changed, he said. “It’s become more mainstream. The perception was, it was for kids that weren’t going to college,” he said. Now, Huot classes are considered a normal part of a typical student’s day, whether college — or workplace — bound. The recently added biotechnology program exemplifies this shift.

Scott is leaving his post on the eve of one of the biggest changes in the Huot’s history. The technical center, along with much of the high school campus, is in the midst of a major renovation and addition, a project that Davis is proud to have helped. “That was a lot of work by a lot of people,” he said, adding

repairs to the roads and infrastructure along Maple Circle, Dr. True Road and Gray Road to prevent future incidents.

The town completed a comprehensive drainage report in 2007 which estimated that repairs would cost up to $1 million. Lacking funds to complete the entire project, the town installed three new culverts in the area.

Foudriat said that when federal stimulus funds became available in 2009 the town had a shovel ready project which qualified and was able to obtain $918,280 in funding, half of which was forgiven and the remaining $459,140 repaid at a low interest rate.

The grant allowed the town to repair the drainage through the Sanbornton Town Beach, Maple Circle, Gray Road and Shute Road and some $238,000 left over from the project was used over last summer to construct a box culvert at the intersection of Black Brook and Black Brook Road.

But some $650,000 in work remains to be done in the Black Brook watershed area, which encompasses some 3,000 acres, according to Foudriat.

He said that non-point source pollution has been largely ignored in the past but has emerged as a major threat to the water quality of New Hampshire lakes.

Foudriat says that unlike pollution from municipal sewage sources and industrial discharges, NPS pollution control will involve “hands on” actions from communities and many individual citizens to deal with a myriad of little pollution sources to be effective.

AECOM identified 38 sites in the watershed for remedial action and suggested means for sediment control at each of these sites. A multiyear schedule for implementation and the use of available grants to supplement local tax money was suggested as well.

Foudriat said that since the watershed is projected that he’s confident that the technical center is in a good place for a change of leadership as well.

In his retirement, Scott looks forward to more time to enjoy his outdoor pursuits, skiing, fishing and bicycling. He and Sarah also enjoy traveling, such as a recent tour of northern Europe. Wherever they travel, he said, they know where home is.

“I’m in this community, a breathe in this community, I pay taxes in this community. I loved being part of the system that my kids were in,” he said.

Added Sarah, “Scott and I will always see ourselves as Vermonters, but we are committed to this community.”

to see increasing phosphorus discharge over time as residential development increases, reductions in the current level of phosphorus will be needed just to offset increasing residential development.

He said the plan also addresses the need for land use planning in the watershed and that zoning ordinance and site plan regulations will need to be revised with a goal of retaining sediments on new development sites before drainage is permitted to exit the site. Steps will also need to be taken to avoid soil erosion during construction and landscaping will need to be designed to prevent soil erosion from storm waters, eliminating the future need for expensive sediment traps and devices.

Planners will also provide for educating existing land owners with information and in some cases, volunteer assistance, to identify and control sediment originating on their sites.

And plans for reviewing public works projects, particularly those involving road construction and maintenance, will need to be put in place to ensure that road drainage is free of sediments before it enters watercourses. ‘’We’ll have to follow Best Management Practices (BMPs) in order to reduce the sediment runoff and protect the lake,’’ says Foudriat, who notes that one interested party in the Black Brook area is the state’s Fish and Game Department, which would like to see Black Brook, currently choked with sediment, restored as a breeding area for smelt.

PISTORIUS from page 2 his probation officer’s permission and is not allowed to consume drugs or alcohol, the magistrate said.

His next court appearance was set for June 4.

Earlier, Pistorius alternately wept and appeared solemn and composed, especially as Nair criticized police procedures in the case and as a judgment in the track star’s favor appeared imminent. He showed no reaction as he was granted bail.

Pistorius left the courthouse in a silver Land Rover just over an hour after the bail conditions were set. The vehicle, tailed by motorcycles carrying television cameramen, later pulled into the home of Pistorius’ uncle.

“We are relieved at the fact that Oscar got bail today, but at the same time we are in mourning for the death of Reeva, with her family,” said Pistorius’ uncle, Arnold Pistorius. “As a family, we know Oscar’s version of what happened on that tragic night and we know that that is the truth and that will prevail in the coming court case.”

“They say that as we age we should watch our shoveling … … so that’s what I’m doing - watching the shoveling.”

Sealite closes on purchase of 20k-sq.-ft. Tilton building; company sees expanding markets for its solar-powered LED lighting systems

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Charmed by the odds, Mark Goodwin, general manager of Sealite USA, LLC bet heavily on the future prospects of his company this week by investing $950,000 to acquire the 20,000-squarefoot building at 61 Business Park Drive in Tilton, along with an option on the abutting vacant lot.

Sealite USA, was formed in November 2010 when Sealite Pty, Ltd., a manufacturer of marine and aviation navigation aids and lighting systems headquartered in Somerville, Victoria, Australia, acquired Watermark Navigation Systems of Gilford. Watermark, sister firm to Watermark Marine Construction — headed by Goodwin’s brother Paul — had distributed Sealite products for some 15 years before the acquisition and in 2009 was named distributor of the year for its sales and marketing achievements in the United States.

Describing Sealite PTY Ltd. as “our parent company,” Goodwin said that “we are part of the Sealite family.”

Sealite USA is the sole distributor of Sealite products in North, Central and South America. Since 2012 Sealite USA has operated from 172 Lily Pond Road in Gilford. Goodwin said the company will retain ownership of the property, but has yet to decide whether to occupy or lease it. The Tilton facility, Goodwin said, will be configured to house office, warehouse and manufacturing space.

Sealite PTY Ltd. traces its origins to 1982 when Just Good!

Food

Jeffrey Procter, whose son Chris is the chief executive officer of the company, began applying LED and solar technologies to build lights marking aquaculture sites around the Australian coastline as a hobby in his garage. By 2003, when operations moved from the garage, the firm had developed and marketed a range of marine navigation aids, and a year later announced the opening of an aviation lighting division — Avklite.

Today Sealite products, including buoys and lighting, are marking channels and hazards as well as runways and heliports in 110 countries around the world, including an airfield in the Gobi Desert serving one of Mongolia’s largest mining companies and one of the world’s largest ferris wheels, the Great Wheel in Seattle, Washington.

Goodwin said that while Sealite works with the New Hampshire Marine Patrol and the firm’s buoys and lights aid navigation on Lake Winnipesaukee, military contracts represent a major share of sales. “We have thousands of our lights in Iraq and Afghanistan,” he said, explaining that the solarpowered lighting is ideal for remote locations without ready sources of power. Likewise, he said that when the United States Army elected to light an additional runway at Fort Campbell, Kentucky they chose Sealite products to spare the cost extending power lines to the site. Although the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has yet to approve solarpowered lighting for commercial airports, when a see next page

Grafton man gets 55 years for killing roommates NORTH HAVERILL (AP) — A New Hampshire man has been sentenced to 55 years to life in prison for shooting his two roommates in Grafton.

Robert LaCombe, Jr., was sentenced on Thursday in the June deaths of William Hatch, 24, and Crystal Farnham, 23, whose bodies were discovered in their home.

If he stays out of trouble, he could ask a judge to reduce his minimum sentence by 15 years, The Valley News (http://bit.ly/13buqT4) reports.

Relatives of the victims told the 25-year-old LaCombe that they hated him and hoped that he would kill himself in prison. Some said they were frustrated by the plea deal prosecutors reached instead of going to trial.

“You shot my daughter as she tried to get away from you,” said Farnham’s mother, Lisa Hamel. “You are a cold-blooded murderer. I will never forgive you.

I hate you, and I hope you rot in hell.”

LaCombe told the victims’ families that he understood their anger.

“I was wrong and I know that. They did not deserve what happened to them,” he said. “I know how bad you guys hate me, but none of you guys hate me more than I hate myself. That I promise you.” from preceding page small airfield in California converted a taxiway to runway while the runway was under repair, Sealite lit the taxiway.

Goodwin said he was especially excited by a recent addition to Sealite’s stable, a lighting system for heliports, which includes perimeter, approach, touchdown and lift-off lights, all of which can be remotely controlled. “Hospitals are just one of the potential markets,” he said.

With his experience at Watermark, Goodwin is equally enthusiastic about the marine applications of Sealite’s technology. The company manufactures buoys in diverse shapes and sizes, which carry a variety of payloads. He explained that buoys can be fitted with GPS (Global Positioning System) and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) technology as well as as weather monitoring equipment, which enables them to regularly report on their condition. He said that a buoy can be encircled by an electronic perimeter so that should it break loose from its mooring the incident will be reported immediately. Likewise, the rate of recharge and condition of the batteries of the equipment carried by the buoy can be constantly monitored in real time from anywhere in the world.

“One of our lighted buoys was retrieved from a depth of 200 feet,” Goodwin remarked, “and the light was still working. These products and designed and built to withstand extremely harsh conditions.”

He said that the lighting systems have a very high rating for water and dust intrusion. At the same

LaCombe blamed the incident entirely on his drug use but Senior Assistant Attorney General Janice Rundles suggests that he was driven by spite.

Hatch, his childhood friend, and Farnham had become tired of supporting LaCombe and had asked him to leave, Rundle said.

“He was not paying his own way,” Rundles said.

“It appears that through most of his adult life the defendant has not only been a drug addict but ... failed to hold down a job. The victims were fed up, and asked him to leave their apartment, and that’s what caused this whole thing.”

COACH from page 2 allegations.

Police say they began the investigation based on a report by Kennett Middle School administrators.

Conway Det. Ryan Wallace said the alleged assaults occurred in early February.

time, he emphasized “this is a cost effective, green technology that uses solar power and emits no CO2.”

Goodwin said that the company is working closely with the United States Coast Guard, which currently prefers steel to polyethylene buoys, as well as with governments throughout South America where commercial ports are being developed and expanded.

“There are all sorts of potential applications for this technology,” Goodwin said, pointing to long pole propped on a stack of cartons. “We’ve been working with CSX, the railroad company, about lighting their switches,” he said . “We’ve even placed our lights in historic lighthouses that have been restored.” And last year Sealite USA installed the light that illuminates the sign on Gilford Avenue marking the Lakes Industrial Park.

Currently all Sealite’s products are manufactured in Australia. Good win said that between 90-percent and 95-percent of all components, including circuit boards, are made in-house. “This is a great way of ensuring quality control,” he said. The plant has capacity for tool and injection die making, optical engineering and rotational and injection molding as well as a research and development operation.

If necessary, product can be shipped to New Hampshire in a matter of days, hastened by the difference in time zones, while larger shipments arrive on container ships.

Sealite PTY Ltd. is the fastest growing maker of marine and aviation navigational aids in the world and Sealite USA has has bought a ticket to go along for the ride.

Both the Gunstock Inn and the Arches have been taken recently through foreclosure actions. Gaer said a bank purchased the Arches at an auction held there recently.

The Phoenix House has three locations in New Hampshire one of which is at the Daniel Webster Farm in Franklin. They share the farm with the Easter Seals who has opted to take over the entire operation and will not renew the Phoenix House lease.

Lavallee and Gaer met on February 4 in a information session with the Gilford Planning Board to see what kinds of zoning restrictions there may be on using the the top floor of the facility as an in-house drug and alcohol rehabilitation center and the bottom floor as a separately operated fitness center with a heated, indoor pool.

While everyone on the Planning Board supported the concept, there was some issue as to what uses were allowed used in the area and whether or not the Phoenix House would need to go to the Zoning Board of Adjustments for a special exception or a variance.

After discussing it for about 45 minutes, Gilford Planning Board Chair John Morgenstern recommended Lavallee and Gaer schedule a meeting with Zoning Board of Adjustments while Town Planner John Ayer continued to examine the town ordinances.

Ayer said there was no formal application made to the ZBA, which meets Thursday.

Northfield Town Administrator Glenn Smith said that as of Friday afternoon no formal application has been made to the Northfield Zoning Board from the Phoenix House or any of its representatives.

The Gunstock Inn is now owned by Northway Bank. The Arches in now owned by Houston-based Southwest Guaranty LLC, which, according to the Concord Monitor, bought the propery at a Feb. 12 acution for $500,000, more than $2 million less than the face value of the mortgage that was held on the property.

WALL STREET from page 2 August 2011, after plunging following the showdown that month over raising the country’s borrowing limit. The index is also 12 percent higher since bottoming out in November after the election, when investors sold stocks on concern that a divided government wouldn’t be able to come up with a budget compromise.

“Twice already investors have learnt the lesson that if you wait for everything to calm down in Washington you’ll miss out on the rally,” Kelly says.

Analysts and investors generally agree that the huge amount of attention being paid to the $85 billion of cuts far exceeds the actual impact they will have on the $16 trillion U.S. economy, particularly given that the cuts will be phased in over time, and some will ultimately be reversed.

The cuts are very much a prob-

lem of Washington’s own making.

The Budget Control Act, signed in to law in August 2011, was meant to end the nation’s debt crisis and force lawmakers to come up with a measured approach to reduce the deficit.

The automatic spending cuts were included in the bill with the idea that they would be so unpalatable to lawmakers that they would have a strong incentive to avoid them by making a deal to reduce the budget deficit.

With time running out to broker a deal, the cuts looks likely to go into effect on March 1. Then the focus will likely turn to a March 27 deadline that could result in a government shutdown.

That may sound scary, but even that outcome doesn’t necessarily translate into a slumping stock market, says Tobias Levkovich, an equity strategist at Citigroup. When President Bill Clinton and House Speaker Newt Gingrich clashed over the budget in late 1995 and early 1996, the market actually rallied, with the S&P 500 gaining about 4 percent over the course of the shutdown. That suggests that investors were focusing on other factors such as economic growth and earnings.

As the intensity of the debate around cuts and shutdowns picks up, investors shouldn’t overreact. “We don’t think it’s a great idea to trade around the vicissitudes of Washington behavior,” says Levkovich.

ARRESTS from page one weapons, police found some white powder that field tested positive for heroin along with a spoon and a needle.

Hann Jr. was charged with one count of possession of a narcotic drug.

Lt. Richard Mann said the drugs, the needle and spoon were sent to the state lab for testing.

Both men are free on personal recognizance bail and were given court dates in March.

Rapper & cabbie meet violent end together on the strip in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Kenny Cherry was an aspiring rapper who moved from the Bay Area to Las Vegas to pursue his career. His music videos online show him cruising the Strip in his Maserati.

Michael Boldon was a family man and taxi driver who hailed from Michigan and loved fast cars.

The two men’s lives — along with that of an unidentified passenger in Boldon’s cab — ended in violence normally seen only in movies: gunfire, a fiery crash and an explosion before dawn Thursday on the neon-lit Las Vegas Strip.

As investigators Friday tried to find the gunman in a black Range Rover SUV who triggered the shocking chain of events, families and friends tried to grasp the blink-of-an-eye finality of it all.

“Right now my heart is breaking,” said Cherry’s great aunt, Patricia Sims, of Oakland, Calif. “This has really been a tragedy. Kenny was just a delightful kid.”

Sims, 75, said Cherry moved to Las Vegas from Northern California, though she didn’t know her nephew was a rapper using the name Kenny Clutch.

Cherry’s parents were traveling to Las Vegas on Friday to claim his body. The 27-year-old, whose full name is Kenneth Wayne Cherry Jr., was driving a Maserati that was peppered by gunfire before it sped through a red light and smashed into Boldon’s taxi.

The taxi exploded into flames, killing Boldon and a female passenger, as four other vehicles crashed like pinballs at an intersection overlooked by some of Las Vegas’ most famous hotel-casinos: Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Bally’s and the Flamingo.

Police think an argument at the valet area of the upscale Aria resort-casino led to the shooting, but they haven’t shared details. The shooting happened the same night that Morocco-born rapper French Montana was playing at Aria’s signature nightclub, Haze.

“What the original disagreement was is crucial to the ongoing investigation and the identification of the suspects,” said Las Vegas police officer Bill Cassell.

He said investigators were examining surveillance video and enlisting help from federal authorities and agencies in neighboring states to look for the distinctive Range Rover. It had blackout windows and custom black rims and was last seen speeding away from the fiery scene around 4:30 a.m. Thursday.

Police said a passenger in the Maserati was wounded in the arm but was treated at a hospital and released. He was reported to be cooperating with investigators, and his name wasn’t made public.

Cherry’s father, Kenneth Cherry Sr., of Emeryville, Calif., said he was struggling to handle his grief.

He said his son started a music career in Oakland after attending two Catholic high schools. According to his father, Cherry was recognized by other rappers within a West Coast hip-hop strain called hyphy.

Cherry was not well-known in wider music circles, according to Chuck Creekmur, CEO of AllHipHop.com.

“I had never heard his name before,” Creekmur said.

Kenny Clutch’s YouTube music video, “Stay Schemin,” shows scenes of hotels along the Strip as he sings about paying $120,000 for his Maserati.

“One mistake change lives all in one night,” he raps in one verse.

Cherry Sr. said he didn’t know how his son made money or if he had any other jobs.

“I want to make it clear that my son was no gangster or nothing like that,” he told The Associated Press. “He moved to Vegas about six year ago and he was writing music and rap.”

Court records show Cherry had no criminal cases or convictions in Las Vegas, and Cassell said there was no record of arrests.

The police spokesman wouldn’t say whether investigators determined if Cherry owned, rented or borrowed the Maserati. Cassell called that information “integral to the investigation.”

Meanwhile, Boldon’s family struggled to cope with his death.

“It’s very devastating for us, for my family,” said Tehran Boldon, 50, younger brother of the 62-yearold taxi driver. “Our family has no history of violence or gang membership that would predict losing a family member to such an event.”

Boldon’s sister, Carolyn Jean Trimble, said Boldon was a father, a grandfather and a car enthusiast. He was one of five children born and raised in Michigan, where he took care of his ailing father, who fought cancer, before moving to Las Vegas to be with his 93-year-old mother.

Bolden had owned a clothing store in Detroit and worked at a car dealership, his sister said. He began driving taxis after moving to Las Vegas about 1 1/2 years ago.

Boldon loved watching IndyCar and NASCAR races and drove a Mercedes when he wasn’t in a cab.

An avid car enthusiast, he tried to persuade Trimble to buy a Bentley, she said.

Pain Solutions achieves ‘Better Performer’ status GILFORD — The Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) Performance and Practices of Successful Medical Groups: 2012 Report Based on 2011 Data identified Pain Solutions as a “Better Performer” because of superior operational performance compared with similar medical group practices nationwide.

Notably, Pain Solutions is the only Pain Management Practice in the Northeast to be recognized by the Medical Group Management Association as a Better Performer in the area of Patient Satisfaction.

Pain Solutions has been recognized often by the physician community for its leadership in treating chronic pain management.

“Given the large membership base of medical groups representing nearly 280,000 physicians, this recognition by MGMA sets a very high standard.

Pain Solutions will continue to make patients come first and these national measures reinforce our trust in the quality and integrity Pain Solutions brings to our community every day,” stated Tom Clairmont, President/CEO of LRGHealthcare.

“We bring the highest level of quality and integrity to each of our locations and take pride in being able to bring this recognized level of Patient Satisfaction to the community,” said Praveen K. Suchdev, MD, one of the founders of Pain Solutions. Dr. Suchdev added, “My colleagues and our staff work hard every day to earn the trust and confidence of our patients and this recognition by MGMA reinforces our commitment to continue to bring the best possible care to our patients.”

James Mirazita, MD, Medical Director at Pain Solutions emphasized that, “one of the keys to our success with patients is working closely with the entire medical community and keeping all those clinically involved in the patient’s care informed as to status and treatments.” “We are committed to coordinating care and avoiding duplication wherever possible as this most often yields a better result for the patient both from a cost and quality perspective,” stated Dr. Mirazita.

In addition, Pain Solutions was designated a Better Performer in the area of accounts receivable management, a key area to enhancing Patient Satisfaction. Pain Solutions takes pride in the integrity it brings to the claims payment system and works closely with patients and insurance companies to navigate the complex payment and coverage system in today’s medical care environment.

The MGMA report, a benchmarking standard among medical groups for more than a decade, was produced using data from respondents to the MGMA Cost Survey: 2012 Report Based on 2011 Data as well as data from a questionnaire that assessed management behaviors, practices and procedures of better performers. The report profiles medical practices that have demonstrated success in key practice areas

by Chad Carpenter

By Holiday Mathis receive endorsements, both formal and informal. It will feel good to be recognized, respected and recommended, but what you will like even better is being well paid.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

While trying to get it together, you may decide that the right thing to do is to take it all apart. Everything must be built in the correct order. Instead of fixing what was started incorrectly, begin again.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Being around a certain someone will actually change the way you perceive the world. Colors will twinkle, sounds will brighten, and all of your senses will sharpen in crisp definition.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A playful mood takes hold. You will be so alive in the moment that you may not care at all where a relationship is headed. This is a refreshing change to all involved.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It takes skill to weave dramatic tension, but not nearly as much skill as it takes to give up the need for drama altogether. With all that you want to accomplish, there will be little energy left for unnecessary theatrics.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 23). If you’re clear about what you want, your winning style will attract the support and funding you need over the next four weeks. Self-promotion works well in March, but it’s your hard work and knack for assembling teams that will ultimately bring a project home in April.

Your heart heals in June, and you’ll love anew. Sagittarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 2, 15 and 39.

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can’t help but stand out as a vivacious energy is ignited in you, compliments of the moon in your fellow fire sign of Leo. Take care to be extra gracious; it will come with the territory now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). An artistic process is unfolding. Instead of trying to control it, you’ll be better off accepting it for the glorious mess it is.

It will take some time to sort out, which is all part of the deal.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The change of your guiding planet Mercury may aid you in seeing a problem from another person’s point of view. This is the first step in creating an omni-favorable solution.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Once you find that person who is right on your wavelength, you want to surf the day away together. But the tides are ever changing. Trust that you’ll connect again in the near future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you’re wondering why loved ones seem so attuned to what you are feeling, the moon in your realm is an emotional amplifier. Others will hear and answer the song of your soul.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). This isn’t exactly a supersonic ride to the top, but you see progress, and that’s encouraging. Keep counting the little things. Every happy customer, friendly face and kind word will make a difference.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Deals are shaping up, and it looks like your part of it might be a handsome sum, after all.

Stay cool-headed and remember: It’s not over until the checks clear!

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 23, 1863, British explorers John H. Speke and James A. Grant announced they had found the source of the Nile River to be Lake Victoria. (This finding was disputed by Speke’s colleague, Richard F. Burton, who felt that proof was lacking, but the lake is now considered the Nile’s source.)

On this date: In 1836, the siege of the Alamo began in San Antonio, Texas.

In 1848, the sixth president of the United States, John Quincy Adams, died in Washington, D.C., at age 80.

In 1861, President-elect Abraham Lincoln arrived secretly in Washington to take office, following word of a possible assassination plot in Baltimore.

In 1870, Mississippi was readmitted to the Union.

In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt signed an agreement with Cuba to lease the area around Guantanamo Bay to the United States.

In 1965, film comedian Stan Laurel, 74, died in Santa Monica, Calif.

In 1970, Guyana became a republic within the Commonwealth of Nations.

In 1981, an attempted coup began in Spain as 200 members of the Civil Guard invaded Parliament, taking lawmakers hostage. (However, the attempt collapsed 18 hours later.)

Ten years ago: In West Warwick, R.I., relatives of the victims of a deadly nightclub fire were allowed to walk up to the charred rubble to pray and say goodbye. Norah Jones won five Grammys, including album and record of the year.

One year ago: President Barack Obama, speaking in Miami, sought to confront public anxiety over rising gasoline prices as he promoted the expansion of domestic oil and gas exploration, as well as the development of new forms of energy.

Former U.N. secretary-general Kofi Annan was appointed the joint United Nations-Arab League envoy on the Syrian crisis.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I always felt that my mother and I were inseparable. I never thought I would be blessed to marry a wonderful man and that it would damage our relationship, but it did.

My mom has had a great influence on my life for 32 years, but this had to end. She only developed a problem with my then-boyfriend when she saw that it was serious. She tried everything to break us up, including having him investigated.

She told me he was “no good.” I chose to pray and follow my heart and not listen to her. I’m happy I did. I couldn’t ask for a better husband.

Mom did not come to my wedding and refuses to come to my house, saying I chose a man over her. But, Annie, I cannot allow her to continue to be so disrespectful of my husband.

Please tell your readers that trying to control your children will only push them away and create resentment. My mom centered her life around me and now feels lost.

I’m still struggling to adjust to not having her in my life, but I refuse to leave my husband to make her happy. I have made great choices. I completed graduate school and have a terrific career. Many mothers would love to have a daughter and son-in-law like us. Is there anything I can do? -- Missing My Mother but Loving My Husband Dear Missing: Your mother’s jealousy has clouded her thinking, and instead of a close, warm relationship with you, your husband and your future children, she has isolated herself in bitterness. We hope you will give her the opportunity to get past this, although it may take time and a good deal of forgiveness on your part. Continue to periodically reach out to her, inviting her to your home with the understanding that she must treat your husband with decency. Over time, we suspect she will miss you enough to make the effort.

Dear Annie: I live in a rural residential area that gets a lot of snow. Is there any tactful way to word an invitation to an open house that asks guests not to wear street shoes in the house?

The last time we had a party, only one person was considerate enough to remove dirty shoes. We love to entertain friends, but really don’t care for the snow, sand and salt from the road tracked all over our hardwood floors and oriental rugs. -- Suggestions Appreciated Dear Suggestions: It is perfectly OK to ask your guests to remove their shoes at the door, especially if you provide comfy little slippers for them to wear. You also should place doormats both inside and outside your front door so guests can wipe their feet. However, if someone refuses to take off his or her shoes, please welcome them into your home regardless. Hardwood floors can be cleaned, and oriental rugs can be rolled up and put aside.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Midwest Cook,” who can’t believe that children are truly picky eaters. She says the fault lies with permissive parents.

My husband and I followed a similar tactic for years with our four children. They either ate what we cooked, or they went without. The result was often bitter frustration for everyone involved, as well as utter shock on the part of those not familiar with our methods.

In spite of that, two of our now-adult children are still genuinely picky eaters. Please don’t assume parents aren’t doing their jobs. -- Frustrated Cook Dear Frustrated: You are right that some kids never outgrow their aversion to certain foods, but we hope parents will encourage more adventurous eating habits.

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please e-mail your questions to: anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

Pikes Industries makes membership donation to NE Ski Museum FRANCONIA — “Without members like Pike Industries, the New England Ski Museum would not exist,” said Ted Sutton of the New England Ski Museum. Pike Industries recently made a membership contribution to the New England Ski Museum.

Sutton continued, “With their help, the Museum has been able to accomplish much in its three decades of operation. Each year membership dues and donations comprise over one half the Museum’s operating budget.”

The New England Ski Museum’s mission is to collect, preserve, and exhibit examples of equipment, art and artifacts relating to ski history and the 10th Mountain Division. The museum is located at the base of the

Cannon Mountain Tramway.

“Pike is pleased to be a member of this unique alpine resource,” said Christian Zimmerman of Pike Industries. “New Hampshire has a rich and extensive skiing history. New Hampshire soldiers were recruited for the elite 10th Mountain Division, athletes have risen to the top levels of competitive ski racing, and New Hampshire is also the birthplace of modern ski instruction. Skiing is a great way to enjoy winter for people of all ages and abilities.”

More information about the New England Ski Museum can be found at www.newenglandskimuseum.org, and information about Pike Industries can be found at www.pikeindustries.com

160-year prison sentence awaits Milton man who assaulted special needs kids CONCORD (AP) — A bus driver who admitted sexually assaulting and videotaping the special needs children he transported in New Hampshire and Maine has been sentenced to 160 years in prison.

John Wright, 46, received the maximum sentence. Wright, of Milton, pleaded guilty in September to five counts of sexually exploiting children and one count of possessing child pornography.

Investigators said Wright, who has been in custody since he was indicted in October 2011, drove special needs children from Strafford and Rockingham counties in New Hampshire and from nearby Kittery, Maine.

Investigators say they found thousands of images of child pornography on Wright’s computer. Further searching linked Wright to the production

of his own videos, including the ones that show him sexually assaulting his young bus passengers.

Some of the children were completely non-verbal, and others had a variety of disabilities, U.S. Attorney John Kacavas said.

“While a sentence this duration is beyond man’s capacity to serve, justice for the young victims and a just punishment for this defendant are beyond our capacity to achieve,” Kacavas said Friday.

Wright’s conduct was discovered by investigators with the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, who initiated an undercover operation in February 2011 to identify people possessing and trading images of child pornography, prosecutors said.

Questions remain about 3 found dead in Lancaster home in April 2012 CONCORD (AP) — An investigation shows a Lancaster man shot to death a neighbor he had frequent disputes with last April, yet New Hampshire officials say they’re not sure how the shooter and his wife wound up dead in their burned out camper.

Senior Assistant Attorney General Janice Rundles said it’s clear that

64-year-old Gene Sly shot to death his 44-year-old neighbor, David Collins, on April 17 at Collins’ home. The Attorney General’s office issued its final report on the deaths Friday.

Collins’ son told investigators Sly came to their home at about 3 a.m. and asked to see his father. Nicholas Collins woke up his father and was returning

to his bedroom when he heard gunshots and found his father lying in the front entryway of their home. He saw Sly running back toward his house.

David Collins died before ambulance personnel reached the house. He had been shot in the right temple and abdomen.

Police saw a fire in the driveway of Sly’s home, but did not immediately

approach because they believed Sly was in the house he shared with his 64-year-old wife, Elena Sly. Rundles said it wasn’t until a remote device determined the house was empty that they approached the burning vehicle and discovered the bodies of Sly and his wife burned beyond recognition.
